i have thoses but when there is two people up front and two people sitting in the stern chairs she WILL NOT GET ON PLANE. every body has to stand up front and i would like to make it more comfy for them so that why i need the double back seats. * until i get an engine with more power it terns out in sted of 225 i have a 125 horse power i/o they made a typo on the regerstration.

When I got my boat It had a 165 mercuriser I/O which was close to 120 at the prop.

But with a 15 X 15 1/4 prop I use to get on plane with 8 people on board, it was slow getting there but it would do it.

What are you turning for a prop?? Thats why I have aways used that prop even after I switched to OB, and more HP.

i loved my old engine but i had to replace it one day because it through a rod. i did't now that the measured at the engine and not the prop do they still do that or has that changed. so i dont know if that rating is at the engine or prop but i still will never get on plane the top speed i can get is maby 14 knots with me at the wheel and two people in the back. but even if i got the back to back seats do you still think that it would not get on plane with every body sittin up front. o and i stated the dash board i will post pics of the progress later this weekend.

I/O HP is at the prop not the motor.

Old O/B was also at the prop, but todays O/B motors are HP at the motor.

I still think you should reprop? Will get better, but still going to have issues if your motor is that small, and that many people on board.
